Features
Ventstream®
- High respirable output
80% of Ventstream’s aerosol output falls
below 5.0 microns, providing better on-target drug delivery to
the lungs.
Data shows that Ventstream delivers more drug
to the lungs than a leading breathenhanced nebulizer.1
- High quality of aerosol
Unique jet design produces an aerosol
with an MMAD of 3.0 microns – the particle size
that delivers
maximum therapeutic effect.2
- Breath-enhanced design
Ventstream’s “active
venturi” design
responds to a patient’s breathing pattern, delivering more
drug on inspiration with minimal drug wastage on expiration.
- 100% reusable design
Ventstream is easy
to use, easy to clean (top-shelf dishwasher safe), and is
reusable for a full 6 months.
